Muti in Chicago

I've never been much of a Riccardo Muti fan, but THIS ARTICLE about his plans for the Chicago Symphony made me think twice:

"And then," he said, speaking of his plans, whose initial preparation stages are well under way, to bring the CSO and its musicians to Chicago-area youth who are severely at risk and even incarcerated, "I want to take this orchestra and make a connection with young people whom we have forgotten, whom we ignore, who deserve to hear this great music that they do not know but have the same right to as anyone else. If they are in poverty, forgotten, in prison, I want to reach them the way we have reached other people for so many years."

...Maybe he's finally taking his responsibilities seriously.
